BasicStats Aggregator Plugin
The BasicStats aggregator plugin give us count, diff, max, min, mean,
non_negative_diff, sum, s2(variance), stdev for a set of values, emitting the
aggregate every period
seconds.
Global configuration options
In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support
additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to
modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc.
See the CONFIGURATION.md for more details.
Configuration
# Keep the aggregate basicstats of each metric passing through.
[[aggregators.basicstats]]
## The period on which to flush & clear the aggregator.
period = "30s"
## If true, the original metric will be dropped by the
## aggregator and will not get sent to the output plugins.
drop_original = false
## Configures which basic stats to push as fields
# stats = ["count","diff","rate","min","max","mean","non_negative_diff","non_negative_rate","stdev","s2","sum","interval"]
- stats
- If not specified, then
count
, min
, max
, mean
, stdev
, and s2
are aggregated and pushed as fields. sum
, diff
and non_negative_diff
are not aggregated by default to maintain backwards compatibility.
- If empty array, no stats are aggregated
Measurements & Fields
- measurement1
- field1_count
- field1_diff (difference)
- field1_rate (rate per second)
- field1_max
- field1_min
- field1_mean
- field1_non_negative_diff (non-negative difference)
- field1_non_negative_rate (non-negative rate per second)
- field1_sum
- field1_s2 (variance)
- field1_stdev (standard deviation)
- field1_interval (interval in nanoseconds)
No tags are applied by this aggregator.
